I’m Back…Again

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Red-spotted Purple butterflyI’m working on this blog and I will be writing here. I know I’ve said this many times. I wasn’t ready before. I’m really not sure why. I’ll write about it when I am though. In the meantime, enjoy the Butterflies and Moths web site. There are some beautiful photos to see.

Right now, I’m going to watch ReGenesis.

Balance

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

“In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.” ~Patti Smith

I need to find a balance between this blog and my other blogs. The blog I use for generating money has been my main focus because it’s my bread and butter blog. Hey, that has a nice ring to it. Someone probably already has a blog with that title. I’ll look it up when I’m finished writing this.

I didn’t buy this domain to just let it sit here. A couple of week ago, I intended on having a schedule where I would rotate my article writing on each blog. I would write one article on each blog and when that was accomplished, then I would go back to the first blog that I had written on for the day and I would write another one. I need to rethink that system.

I write more articles on my Mae’s Muse blog which takes up so much of my time. Actually it’s the researching for the article that takes up so much of the time I spend on each article. I wonder how so many people say that they can get an article done in five minutes or less. I’ve tried it and when I do, there’s not much quality in the writing, in my opinion.

So, I need to find a better balance. I don’t want to neglect this blog any more. Maybe I can blog rotate the days instead. Blog a set number of days on one blog and then another set on my other blog and so on. Because I have three blogs and I plan to have more soon. But I don’t want to stretch myself too thin. If it gets to be too much, then it may cause stress. But, then again, if I want it bad enough, I believe that I will be able to find a way to maintain these blogs and have balance as well.

Taking a break will be incorporated into this system. I’ll find a way to make sure it’s not a long break, as I’ve done here.

I think I didn’t realize that it was a balance issue for me. But now that I see that, balance should be easier for me to maintain.

We all need balance, because without it, there’s chaos. I know how chaos feels. The energy isn’t uplifting and can cause a breakdown. Maintaining balance can keep peace and tranquility thriving in the soul.

“The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.” ~Euripides

Not Gone Just Forgotten

Friday, January 19th, 2007

I need to spend more time writing here. It’s too void of “me”. I’ve been too pre-occupied. Sometimes needlessly. Procrastinating. For what? From be too open? Perhaps. Yes. That’s it. It’s hard for me to open up too much. But that’s one reason I blog. To get brave enough to just do it.

I don’t think it’s necessary to share absolutely everything, though. I don’t even do that in person. But writing is easy for me than speaking. I often get tongue-tied because I either can’t find the right words (which often happens while writing as well) or I say the wrong thing and upset someone or embarass myself. That’s easy to do. If not by me then by someone else. (more…)
